About Interstate Waste Services

Interstate Waste Services (IWS) stands as the most progressive and innovative provider of solid waste and recycling services across the greater New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut markets, featuring a rail-served landfill in Ohio. Since our founding in 1998, we have grown through strategic acquisitions, many of which were family-owned businesses that remain integral to our team today. This unique evolution allows us to combine the robust resources of a large corporation with the enduring values and care of a family-run business.

We are committed to delivering high-quality waste, recycling, and environmental services while prioritizing the safety of our employees, customers, and communities. Our diverse client base includes industrial, medical, and commercial/residential sectors.

About the Role

This position serves as a vital support pillar within our maintenance operations, bridging the gap between drivers and our technical teams. You will be instrumental in ensuring the reliability and safety of our heavy-duty and light-duty fleet, which includes rear load, front load, roll-off, grapple, and porta-potty trucks.

Your day will involve active collaboration with drivers to complete daily post-trip and vehicle safety inspections, identifying visible issues such as leaks, body damage, or light failures. You will perform essential preventative maintenance tasks, including lubrication, fluid top-ups, and tire inspections, while assisting technicians with repairs on engines, transmissions, brakes, and electrical systems. Beyond the mechanical work, you will maintain a clean and safe shop environment in compliance with OSHA standards and document all repairs and parts usage accurately.

Hiring Process

Candidates selected for an interview will be expected to participate in corporation-sponsored training courses to ensure they are up to date with current technology and safety protocols. We are committed to a fair and inclusive process where reasonable accommodations are made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job.

Our Culture & Commitment

At IWS, we uphold a high standard of ethics and dependability. We foster a culture where safety is paramount, requiring all team members to utilize mandated Personal Protective Equipment and adhere to strict safety policies. We welcome a diverse workforce and provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
